Wow, I really liked this chapter. One of my biggest priorities as a teacher is to give students the greatest ammount of information that I can in order to make sure they can do as well as possible. Everyone knows that differnet teachers have different writing styles, expectations, pet peeves, ect. So, to give students a better idea of what is expected of them right off the bat is a great idea.
Too often I think teachers forget that there are guidelines that should really be used in order to instruct students as to what they should be doing in their writing. The rubric should come before the assignment is turned in, not after, and you should decide whether your students are going to be more motivated by broad or specific requirements. Either way, giving students a look at the grading criteria will really boost moral and the quality of the papers.
